Cherry Fest 5K review

Workout: None

This review is going to be BORING.  I went by myself therefore the race was extremely uneventful AND I don't have any pictures.  In fact, I think I will just give the quick cliff notes version to save us all from agony.

Basically, I was really excited.  Physically, I was prepared and in better shape than I have been in a while.  My goal was a 7:40 pace which I thought would be pretty easy.  But, my body just didn't want to do what it was definitely capable of achieving:(((

Mile 1 - 7:44
Mile 2 - 7:57
Mile 3 - 7:48
Mile .???  I don't remember

This was my first time running this race.  I thought overall it was pretty decent.  The community support was amazing, and it was so nice to see so many people outside in their driveways cheering us all on.  Everything was done well, and the race ran smoothly.  The shirts were cool...mine was way too big so Matt gets to enjoy a nice tech tee now!!  The post race treats could have been a little better so that stunk.  And the mile markers were so far off it really irked me.  According to how they had the miles placed I ran a 10:xx mile 2 and a 6:xx mile 3.  Thank goodness I had my Garmin!!  I don't understand how you can be soooo far off with mile placement.  The course was also long which slightly peeved me.

I finished 3.1 on my Garmin in 24:10.  But my official time was 24:40, and I think my Garmin measured 3.16.

Overall  86th our of 445
Female  24th of 226
Age 5th of 44
